CISCO APIC & GBP

Workflow

Case Study

IM

Interface Matters was asked to propose possible solutions to help simplify some of the pain points with CISCOs APIC & GBP User Interface implementation within openstack.

The Primary pain point was to help simplify the flow of using Cisco’s group based policy framework for data center operators within the context of Openstack.

Interface Matters worked closely with Integration, Product & Client teams to identify the primary use cases and come up with potential ways to simply the workflows.

The finalized solution included proposals to introduce predefined workflow templates for common use cases, clearer identification of groups and entities and topology maps to get a high level sense of the network mapping.

We’ve partnered with Interface Matters on several of our product initiatives over the last 3 years. Their team has put in a great deal of effort in not just helping refine our workflows and UX but has also taken the time to understand and internalize our industry & market dynamics.

It’s been a pleasure working with Interface Matters and would more than happily recommend their team and services.
